    System76 would like to open an office in Europe, but it’ll require a lot of extra $$$ before that’s a viable opportunity. The EU has very heavy taxes on imports of computers from the US, and so the only way to reduce costs would be to manufacture and assemble within the EU. We can’t avoid taxes and import fees like Chinese companies do in the EU.

    It’ll require duplicating the Denver office inside the EU, and we’re a small company with only the one office/warehouse in Denver, so expansion will be costly. We’re currently weathering through the economic downturn that’s affected the tech sector in the US, so I think it may be a while before there’s enough demand and cash in the market to make this possible.
